Earthquakes occur due to the movement of tectonic plates. The Earth's crust is made up of several large plates and several smaller plates that fit together like a puzzle. When these plates move, they can cause the ground to shake and create an earthquake.
The movement of the plates can be caused by a variety of factors, including the buildup of pressure along plate boundaries, the release of pent-up energy stored in the Earth's crust, and the release of energy from the Earth's mantle. Earthquakes can also be triggered by human activities, such as the construction of dams, underground mining, and the injection of fluid into the ground.
In most cases, earthquakes occur along plate boundaries, where one plate is sliding past another. The boundary between two plates is called a fault, and when the plates move along the fault, the ground can shake, creating an earthquake. The size and strength of an earthquake depends on many factors, including the size of the fault that has ruptured, the amount of movement that has occurred along the fault, and the depth of the earthquake.
